A discussion on journalistic duty to report both good and bad news truthfully. It argues media must avoid sensationalism and resist pressures to skew stories for owners or advertisers while acknowledging audiences crave balanced, accurate reporting.
A chaotic day unfolds with a skunk encounter in a household run by youths who chase the animal across snow and property. The narrator narrates religious duties, social critique, and Menninger references while noting a skunk disposal and a hunter's remark about man’s work. The account mixes domestic trouble with sermonizing and local color.
Menninger argues crime is offense against both society and God and that punishment alone does not free the guilty from guilt. He urges the church to address societal sin openly during the 40 days before Easter to prepare people to receive forgiveness in Christ.
A memoir vignette recalls winters spent hunting skunks, farm chores with coveralls on the line, and a rabies scare when a family dog threatened a skunk. The tale ends with a mother skunk guiding her brood as a dog approaches and a humorous spray reply.
Observation compares a diamond’s inner depth to glass. It likens God’s work cutting away rough edges to reveal a core that shines from within. The text urges willingness to let God shape life, promising inner beams of joy and peace when surrendered.
A Manitoba reader criticizes the Association of Manitoba Municipalities for outgrowing Brandon and Western towns. Proposals include splitting AMM into western and eastern bodies or limiting delegates to reduce costs, questioning the board’s decisions and the group’s growth.
